In an interview for Univision, Bernie Sanders shied away from speaking about US foreign policy and Latin America, in particular his speechlessness on the failures of socialism in Venezuela. Edgard Portela caught the moment, and was featured in many conservative news outlets like The Blaze, American Thinker, Red Alert Politics, and Hot Air, among others. He also caught the Vermont Socialist advocating for the release of an unrepentant terrorist from a communist extremist group, Oscar López Rivera, in a campaign stop in Portela’s native city San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Portela has been a leader in the conservative movement since his days as an undergraduate at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, MI (2008), where he studied Political Science and Economics, and served as Chairman of College Republicans. He is a long time suffering Detroit Lions fan.

The Clinton campaign is making much of the endorsement the Democratic presidential candidate has received from Mexican music legend, Vicente Fernández. Both Telemundo and Univision have obliged by giving the singer’s role in the campaign glowing coverage while preventing Latino supporters (including entertainers) of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to get even a word - or musical note - in edgewise about the development.

Over a two-week period, the principal national evening newscasts of the nation’s leading Spanish-language television networks, Univision and Telemundo, dedicated over an hour of coverage to Donald Trump sex talk and subsequent allegations of misconduct by various women, in comparison to just over 12 minutes to the avalanche of red flags about Hillary Clinton and her campaign that have been brought to light by WikiLeaks.

Along with their colleagues in much of the rest of the national media, several members of Univision’s news crew have also been guilty of telling outright lies lately, in which they completely dismiss the reality of voter fraud problems in the United States.

Profiles of immigrant success stories in the United States are frequent, welcome features on Univision. A recent one featured the legendary holocaust survivor Martin Greenfield, who as a teenage boy famously asked the Jewish rabbi who accompanied the U.S. Army soldiers who liberated him from the Buchenwald concentration camp the haunting question “Where was God?" - and who would later go on to become tailor to U.S. Presidents and famous Hollywood stars and athletes alike.

The pattern of news coverage following the same-day leak of both Donald Trump’s off-color, 2005 hot mic comments alongside compromising emails from within the Clinton campaign illustrates the staggering extent of the political bias that continues to dominate the morning and evening news programs on the nation’s top two Spanish-language television networks.
